The US-based leading industrial gases company Air Products
recently opened India’s first solar-powered renewable fuelling station in
Delhi. Part of a mass public transport bus fuelling and vehicle demonstration
program, the SmartFuel station, which was inaugurated by Piyush Goyal (minister
for power, coal, and new & renewable energy), generates 100 percent
renewable hydrogen from solar energy via an electrolyser. It is located at the
Solar Energy Center near Delhi and part of a project managed by the National
Institute of Solar Energy (NISE). The project was also implemented by India’s
University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES) and funded by the Ministry of
New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) of the Government of India.
